RE: Base Metal Plays moving nowWho cares what happens in the global economy, AS LONG AS, there is insufficient supply to sustain surface inventories on the planet. We are one the verge of inventory "0" status in nickel , zinc , copper & lead at this time. I am more interested in depletion rates, regardless of economic activity. Yes, it will effect depletion rates, but, if it only extends "0" inventory status, a fortune will still be made, regardless of the banter.
